A NIGHTS LODGING.
WHERE THE TRAMP AND BUM ARE
SENT FOR BALMY SLEEP.

A Lodging House for the Homeless

leaves ME little short; but I'll get work to-

"Well, you'd better. There's very severe
vagrant law in this state, and if you come
here again up you go to the work house"
The above scene, with only slight variations,
is enacted from ten to fifty times every night
at the Central police station, the finale being
the exit of the applicant with a blue ticket
emitting him to five cent lodging on East
Larned street To the gentle minded reader
the manner and language of Sergt. Martin
may seem "a trifie severe; but experience

fully justified Almost without exception

THE "DoSSING KEN. "

And what of the lodgings to which they goa
If one-half the world knows not how the other
half lives, large part of the world-com-
posed Of those who retire upon wholesome
beds in pleasant rooms and with comfortable
garments-can have but vague idea of what
tramp's lodging house is like. In summer
large number of the vagrart class select
some deserted house or shed 70, their lodging
place, where no light shines and no eve
watches over them. Into such place no onf
enters unless he be under the influence CT
drink or III a condition of all to gain ard
nothing to lose. And the tenure of such re-
sorts is very brief, for hardly does the place
become a habitual "dossing KEN" as the
tramps have it, before some serious breach of
the peace occurs to invite its destruction by
the police. But nothing of the sort occurs at
the place on East Larned street. The pro-
prietor, Mr.. Corners, is a man of iron nerve
and understands the class with whom he deals
most thoroughly
By his courtesy we will enter and look the
place over. The first floor is devoted wholly
to the management and domestic carving on
Of the lodging house. On the second and
third floors are small rooms partitioned off
with common planed boards and provided
with plain sleeping pallets. These rooms are

conveniences they contain, and one may hang

soap are provided and there are no rats.
Should any guest claim that he has been an
noyed by rats during the night he is advised
to sign the pledge and try and brace up.

THE FIVE CENT LoDGERs.

The fourth floor, large room some 30xi5O
feet, is devoted to the five cent dodgers. There
| are tiers of hunks built around the sides of
the room, four deep, and two four tier rows
of hunks run through the center of the room.
These hunks are not spacious, but aft man
| like his coffin Two hundred men can be
lodged here, and it is sigular fact that dur
ing half the nights of the year every bunk is
occupied, Most Of the dodgers remove their
boots or shoes, but sleep in their clothing, and
Che atmosphere, favored as it is with the spir-
ituous breaths of many of the sleepers, is not
without its sanitary peculiarties The color
line is not drawn on the fourth floor and the
cleaning white flesh of the Caucasian nestles
cozfly beside the ebony arms of the swarthv
Senegambian. The warmth of the room in
summer becomes excessive, and clothing be-
comes a secondary consideration to comfort
Begging, like sorrow, knows no seasons
"the morning, noon and night with hers the
same"-and for twenty-fcur hours in each
day the watchful eye of an attendant ranges
along the tiers of hunks and no movement of
the ledger escapes it. What stertorious breath
ing and dismal shores resound from this mass
of sleeping vagabondage can only be i'm

sleep; what starts and cries from the vista

poor victims OF rum, who have gone to sleep

The Formation of Dew.

The prevalent story of the formation Of
dew Is quite disarranged by the observation
Oh professor H. E. Alvord, who has lately
puolshed treatise on the subject He en-
ployed nice instruments, such as have been
described by Sachs and Darwin. He found
that on clear nights, when the atmosphere
was rare1ed, the lighter stratum would be
easily pushed out of the way by the cool and
heavier body drawn by its weight to the sur
lace. The Thermometer at four inches from
the ground would in these cases range from
5to 10 degs, lower than at four feet from the
ground.

A Terrible Surgical OPeraratioD.
A FATAL MISTAKE.


23d, 1888, published an account of fata
surgical operation which caused grea
commotion among medical men through
out the whole country, DR.. Thayer, tbs
most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pro
nouncing it scandalous. 1t appears that
a Mrs. King had been suffering for many
years from some disease of the stomach
which had resisted the treatment Of all
the physicians in attendance. The disease
commenced with slight arrangement of
the digestion, with q poor appetite, fol-
lowed by peculiar indescribable distress
in the stomach feeling that has been
described as faint "all gone" sensation,
sticky slime collecting about the teeth,
causing a disagreeable taste. This SEN
sation was not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased. After
while the hands and feet became cold and
sticky-a cold perspiration. There was
a constant tired and languid feeling. Then
followed dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally, the patient
was unable to retain any food whatever,
and there was constant pain in the alb
domen All prescribed remedies failing
to give relief; consultation was held
when it was decided that the patient had
cancer in the stomach, and in order to
save the patients life an operation was
justifable Accordingly, Oh the 22d of
February, 1888, the operation was per-
formed by DR.. Vance in the presence of
DR.. Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR.. Arms,
DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner, and DIR. Halliwell
of the Police Board. The operation
consisted in laying open the cavity of the
abdomen and exposing the stomach and
bowels. When this had been done an ex-
of the organs was made, but to |
the horror and dismay of the doctors there
was no cancer to be found. The patient
did not have a cancer. When too late the
medical men discovered that they had
made terrible mistakes but they sewed
he parts together and dressed the wound
hat they had made, but the poor woman
ank from exhaustion and died in few
hours. How sad it must be for the hus-
and of this poor woman to know that
lis wife died from the effects of a surgical
peration that ought never to have been
erformed. If this woman had taken the
roper remedy for Dyspepsia and Merry
US Prostitution (for this was what the
isease really was) = she would hav been llv-
1g to-day. Shaker Extract of Roots, or
eigel's Curative Syrup, remedy made

The general assembly of the Knights

terday owing to the fact that no COM
mittees were ready to report. The
afternoon session was given up entirely
to debate, and it was given out that no
business of interest to the public was
transacted. 1t transpires that resOlu-
tions expressing sympathy for the con-
demned Chicago anarchists, and
promising endeayOr to secure the COM
mutation of the death sentence, intro
duced by James E. Quinn, of d. A. 40,
had the effect of stirring up hot discus
sion. The motion to adopt the resOlu-
lions was ruled out of order, and an APP
peal from the decision of the chair was
ruled out of order. A discussion of
boycott circulars and K. of l.. trade
labels next came up. The committees
are nearly all able to report, and, begin
ing with this morning, work will be
rushed with the hope of finishing so adj

ceSS--VariOuS Notes.
The concert of the Exposition chorus
last night under the leadership of Pro-
fessor Stempf was musical triumph
and surprise to all of the large audi
ence which assembled to hear it. There
were in all about $50 voices in the cho-
rus, and they were ably supported by
DanZ'S fine orchestra. The SOloists did
most excellently, and despite the strain
the Exposition is upon the voice
the notes sounded clear and distinct
to the farthest corners. The programme
was carried through as arranged. In the
sixth number, the tOreadOr'S song (''Car-
men'0 by Prof. Porter. with male cho-
rus, this local artist sang remarkably
well. and in the first finale from the un-
finished opera, ''Loreley," Miss Lillian
Stoddard sang the solo in spirited and
splendid manner. In fact, in
every respect the concert was
grand success, and the number
of first class and cultured people gath
cred in the Exposition was greater
last night than OH any previous even
ing, and the drawing attraction was this
splendid concert upon which Prof.
Stempf has spent so much time, and
therefore to him is due the praise for
the even and pleasant way this event
passed off.
Inregard to the presidential visit this
afternoon, Chief Stetson has, at the re-
quest of the Exposition management.
made detail of twenty-five firemen for
service at the Exposition this afternoon
and evening. With fifty extra police
men, the firemen, regiment of soldiers
and all the Exposition officers on duty.
order will doubtless be preserved in
manner which will contrast favorably
with what Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland have
observed in their visits to other cities.
There are no reserved seats of any sort
except those reserved for the press and
order of the council committee. who
have all the tickets issued.
The full presidential arrangements
will be found in another column of the
GLOBE.
A gloom fell upon every one of the
attaches of the Exposition yesterday
AFTERNOON when the very sudden death
too soon to be verified. Mr.. Marina was
known to almost everybody in the big
building and in very favorable Wav.
He was cultured Italian gentleman
and an adept at his art Of working
designs on glass, the master of about .
dozen languages and a man who had
travelled in nearly every Eur0pean
country and every state of the union.
The full particulars of this sad event
are likewise chronicled elsewhere in
the GLOBE, but it may be added since
the Exposition commenced no event has
caused such genuine sorrow as this
awfully sudden death of Marina the
glass cutter. Tonight the attractions
will be varied by the appearance of the
pupils of Prof. Duplessie's gymnastic
glass in the following programme:

Arrangements Nearly Completed
for the Parade Friday Night.
About thirty members of the old vol
unteer fire department met at the coun-
Gil chamber last night, to make arrange
ments for the grand parade Friday
night. William M. Bracket was made
president of the meeting and Matt Walsh
secretary. The first thing done was to
elect Mr.. Bracket chief of the depart
ment for Friday euening, and Lambert
Hayes, John Ii. Noble, f. Hecrich,
Henry Oswald and Baldwin Brown as
sistant chiefs. The following details
were then made:
Hose Company-MattN Nash, foreman Aleck
Scott, John Forler, Dan Lalback, G. Boehme
and NJ. B. Boswell.
Hook and Ladder Company-George F.
Smith, foreman; Louis Fritchie, Charles
Travis, G. W. Curtis, Phil Hartman and John

ALI members of the old department
who desire to take part in the parade
will report their names to the engine
house nearest them, in order to ascer-
tain the number of uniforms necessary,
and those having uniforms will report

Bracket expects that there will be
about 100 men in line.
